Ah yes, but you know the right questions to ask - a Googleguru?

The "interesting part" in current chess is that computer-aided humans are still better that computers by themselves...

Thanks, I appreciate being compared to Kasparov...

CHESS; Anand Overwhelms Karpov In a Computer-Aided Match - The New York Times

Kasparov played only to a 3-3 tie match with the Bulgarian grandmaster Veselin Topalov, a disappointing result for the champion indicating that the computer diminished his usually great play.

I was thinking more about

''Advanced Chess,'' invented and named by Garry Kasparov, is the extension of a traditional consultation game, with the exception that in place of human collaborators, the human adversaries are each teamed with a computer.

My point was that you and your friend Google get on so much better together than Gary and his machine.

It is not necessarily the case, as the NTY infers, that Kasparov's game was hindered by the use of the computer. Another possible inference is that Topalov and Anand get along better with their computers than Kasparov and Karpov, even if Kasparov and Karpov are helped and not hindered by theirs. After all, Topalov and Anand are much younger than the two K's.

'Get along better' is an interesting way of putting it.

I might have said 'are better at using'.
